Our relationship with Queen is weird. One the one hand, yes, they are played at ball games and karaoke, and Bohemian Rhapsody is still strongly associated with the scene from
Wayne's World. On the other hand, Freddie Mercury is widely acknowledged as a genius. Queen is light relief
and deeply moving, somehow.
